Protecting forests in West Africa: This is how we do it!
Cookstoves, bees, village savings and loan associations, and agroforestry help create a more sustainable cocoa supply chain.
Cargill is focused on supporting farmers and ranchers to thrive in a local and global marketplace. We create connections with farmers of all scales to increase their productivity and profitability. We do this by promoting sustainable, innovative agricultural practices, providing inclusive market access and building resilient agricultural communities.
Focusing on the prosperity of farmers makes the business of agriculture more sustainable for all involved. By partnering with farmers, we strengthen agricultural supply chains in an economically and sustainable way that helps build more resilient farms and communities.
We have set a global goal to provide training on sustainable agricultural practices and improve access to markets for 10 million farmers by 2030. We are taking action to deliver on that commitment:

In cocoa-growing communities, investing in education pays dividends far beyond the classroom. When children go to school and adults get training, the surrounding communities benefit in myriad ways.
At Cargill, we work with farmers to build a resilient agriculture industry by focusing on the most pressing sustainability challenges facing the world today – including antimicrobial resistance and emerging infectious diseases.
